The old hymns honor God. The melody is beautiful.
New songs sometimes miss the mark because the name of Jesus is not even mentioned. Some of them could be talking about anyone, a friend or spouse.
Let us be sure as we sing that the message in the song is true to the Bible.
Enjoy a verity of music but don’t forget the old hymns that truly honor our Savior.
Ephesians 5:19 – Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
What we think about can make our day wonderful or terrible. Sometimes it is hard to control our thoughts.
That is when we need to seek God’s face and ask Him for His help and direction.
It is hard to be negative when we are concentrating on positive things. Fear and worry are not from God. How many times have you worried about something that never happened?
Think about the good things GOD has done for you and be thankful. Everyday this month write down something you are thankful for. No repeats. You will see that good thoughts make a good day.
God gives us eternal life, peace, joy and blessings. What does he want in return? He wants our worship, obedience, love and devotion.
A great place to worship Him is in a Bible believing church. How will you spend your day today?
Sometimes we cannot see good in the situation we are in. Maybe it’s illness, accident, loss of a loved one. In our finite minds we can not understand why things are happening to us..
But, GOD will turn even the worst tragedies in our lives into something good if we will trust Him to bring it to pass. It may take time. Even months or years. Then we look back and we can see how He uses these tests in our lives and turns them into testimonies.
This time of year people think about ghosts, goblins and witches. Halloween is just 10 days away.
The real enemy is the devil, who tries to keep you from trusting Jesus as your Savior. The enemy is after your soul.
If he has not succeeded in his plan to keep you away from Jesus, then Christian beware, he will use doubt and discouragement to keep you from serving Jesus and you will become ineffective in your Christian life.
We need to put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11-17.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
God’s Word gives us the answer to what we should think about. If we think positive thoughts we will be happy and contented no matter what our circumstances.
Thinking negatively will only cause us to be anxious and worry. Negative thinking is not trusting in God.
Sunday has turned into a day when most people do everything but worship God.
Shopping, sports, amusement parks, work and every other thing that takes place instead of going to church and worshiping the Lord!
Worshipping God should be our first priority, not only on Sunday but every day of the week. Put GOD first.
In this troubled world, there is much fear. Fear of all kinds. Sickness, financial, relationships and a whole lot more.
As Christians the Bible tells us many times to fear not. God has everything under His control.
A very spiritual man told me “Worry is a sin.” How true. When we worry about our situation it is a total lack of trust in God and His promises to us.
Do the circumstances change? NO! But God promises that He is with us and that all things work together for our good.
Right now make a decision to put your trust in God. Confess your sin and ask forgiveness for your lack of faith and give all your worries to Him.
Does your Pastor preach what you want to hear, or does he tell you something that may make you a little angry because of your sin. Pray he has boldness to speak the truth.
We desperately need revival. It starts with you and me. Pray for the men in the pulpit who have the influence to start revival. Pray also, that if there are false ministers in your church that God will remove them or that you will see and move where the Holy Spirit leads you.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 – For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Today there are many events taking place where SOS Events have volunteers set up a booth to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus.
Please pray for the volunteers that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit and that people will be saved. God calls that the harvest.
October is the busiest month for SOS Events. Every weekend is full of events. Pray there will be enough volunteers to work at all of the events.
